{Wedding Theme} Royal Icing decorated Butter Cookies

The things we do for “I Do”

Doesn't it make you wanna say "I do"

Wedding Cookies as favours seem to be a real big hit nowadays. I couldn't agree more {since they are all so delish and gorgeous}, how much work, intricate details and time taken to decorate each cookie. But you know, it's worth it. The look on a soon to be newly weds face says it all.

I've finally signed up for my very first workshop class. { Yeay!!}. All this while I've always wanted to attend cake and cookie decorating workshops, but didn't have the time to do so. This time, I've decided to not allow time to be the excuse; took a step forward and signed up for it.

The workshop teaches us on how to decorate with royal icing. It was so fun as I've finally learnt some tips on decorating with royal icing. I was like a kid in a candy store. Apart from the class, I met a couple of lovely working mothers. Let's just say they allowed me to be the baby among them. {Lol}

Since Chinese New Year is around the corner, I was planning to bake batches of cookies to distribute them to family members and friends. The tips that I learnt would definitely help me to make beautiful cookies. {Lol} So do stay tune for the recipe in my upcoming posts of my Chinese New Year cookies.

Right now, I would love to share with you some photos. Do check out what we did during the workshop. The cookies below are all decorated by {me..mua}. Taking a lot of deep breaths and holding them in to have steady hands. {phew} I'm so proud of myself for doing a good job.

Wedding Tiered Cake "A HUGE hit"

So, for you soon to be newly weds, if you're interested in ordering from me, do let me know too. Or give me months in advance notice, so I could design, practise and whip something lovely for you.

Till then peeps! Oh and to all of you who are walking down the aisle, CONGRATULATIONS on your wedding.

Baking Recipe: {Part 1} Christmas Cranberry Cookie

The past weekend has been a blast as I made 2 types of treats. Yup..you heard me right. Two types of treats which I've been dying to make for sometime now. For starters, since Christmas is around the corner, I've decided to pre-experiment to bake my very own version of Cranberry Cookie frosted with Lemony Royal Icing on Saturday. And then for tea on Sunday, I was itching to make some tea snacks, thus making the Chocolate Profiterole. What a perfect way to start the Sunday evening with a light dessert. Lol..

Oh! Not forgetting.. I'm so excited to share with you that recently I got my very first order from my very dear friend, who have requested me to bake a birthday cake for her mom. Gosh.. I'm excited yet a little intimidated. Will keep you posted in the next post.

Anyways, for now.. I'm eager to share with you the treats I made for Christmas, and I'll continue to bake a couple more in the coming week.

For my Cranberry Cookie, I've decided to use my trusty cookie dough recipe and added in the cranberry and some white chocolate myself. This cookie will not have a strong white chocolate taste, that is if you're concern about the level of sweetness. I only used the white chocolate to add hint of natural sweetness to bring out the lovely cranberry flavour. Also no christmas cookie will be complete if it's not frosted. So this is my first time working with royal icing. I don't think my hands were steady enough to frost the cookies. Will definitely have to practise more ;p.
